Einstein's Philosophy of Physics

Einstein starts as a Kantianist, but becomes a Hegelian while doing physics.

Kant. Many people wrote
about Kant's influence on Einstein. Since I cannot read Kant's long
sentences (sometimes, one sentence covering two pages), I went to to the
city where Kant spent the 80 years of his entire life. I then learned
how Kant was influenced by his environment. I finally became aware of
what Einstein inherited from Kant.

Einstein observed that Maxwell's electromagnetic theory and Newton's mechanics
do not obey the same transformation law. He then developed a
Lorentz-covariant mechanics.

Hegel. Einstein
observed that the energy-momentum relation takes different forms for slow and
fast (and massless) particles. From those two contrasting formulas, he
derived his energy momentum relation resulting in his celebrated
E = mc2.

Einstein thus combined both
Kant and Hegel
while carrying out these two history-making projects. The bridge
between these Kant and Hegel is the ancient Chinese philosophy of Taoism.

Thus, Einsteinism combines these three philosophical disciplines and
tells us how to do physics.

I was thus practicing Einsteinism when I was working on the following
projects.
